She Died After Hiking With A Man She Met Online And Now Her Friend Is Demanding Answers

Phoenix, Arizona. When 31-year-old Angela Tramonte flew out to Arizona so she could meet up with a man she had been talking to online for the past few months, her loved ones were concerned for her.

It’s a big step to take flying across the country to meet someone you have never met in real life before, and it’s understandable that those close to Angela wanted her to stay safe.

Unfortunately, none of Angela’s loved ones could have guessed that their concern would skyrocket to horror.

Angela went out hiking in Camelback Mountain with this man she met online. At some point during the hike up, Angela couldn’t keep going and had to stop.

The man she was with did not help her get back down the mountain and instead, continued on while Angela headed out by herself to make the trip back down.

Then, Angela disappeared. The Phoenix Fire Department confirmed in a tweet that at 4:40 that evening, Angela was found.

She was close to the Echo Canyon Trail and someone’s home. Unfortunately, she was pronounced dead.

“She recently took a trip to Arizona to meet a man she was talking to online for two months. They supposedly went for a hike at Camelback Mountain on Friday, July 30th.”

“Halfway up the mountain, Angela told this man, who is a police officer and first responder, that she was exhausted and couldn’t continue.”

“She supposedly walked back down the mountain ALONE to the car while this man continued on by himself. He clearly has no regard for her safety.”

“She went missing for hours and was found dead from heat exhaustion. Angela lived a very healthy, active lifestyle. She woke up early every morning to go the gym.”

“She did weekly meal planning and was obsessed with drinking water. She also loved walking her dog Dolce every day. There are many inconsistencies in the timeline and facts that just don’t make any sense.”

“We just want justice for our friend. Please consider donating to help us bring Angela’s body home and pay for funeral expenses. Any help would be greatly appreciated.”

“My beautiful best friend,” Angela’s friend Danielle wrote in a Facebook post. “I am completely heartbroken and have absolutely no words. I love you Angela.”
